Max Goes to Mars
Come with Max as he takes off on his next exciting science adventure (fresh from his trip to the Moon), this time joining astronauts on the first human mission to Mars. Equipped with a specially designed space suit, Max sniffs for signs of microscopic life. Will he succeed? Order a book to find out—and to learn how his trip to Mars helps his young friend Tori reflect on the beauty and fragility of our own planet Earth.
